A Pacific storm will bring yet another round of rain and mountain snow starting tonight, along with gusty winds.

The frontal system is sliding in from the SW but is getting torn apart on the coast so it will be fairly slow-moving..hence the rain in the forecast through to Thursday.

Caught a glimpse of the sun the am before the next set of fronts slid in

-Looks like steadier rain will for us is just building on from the SW with on and off bands through to Thursday am as the warm front slides in. In general Vancouver is looking at 5 mm today with another 10-15 mm overnight- Winds will also pick up this afternoon and gusts could approach 60 km/h and increase to 70 km/h this evening before diminishing by the morning. Eastern Vancouver Island is under a wind warning for up to 80 km/h gusts this afternoon- A nice ridge of high pressure is building in just off the coast for Thursday evening and through the weekend with a general dry flow from the NE.. could be looking at fog in this set-up but with the possibility of sunny breaks in the afternoon Th-Sun- Temps will be a touch on the cool side with the change in general wind direction. Overnight lows will get down to the freezing mark over the next few days with afternoon highs around 5,6 degrees. Lots of local mountain snow..and the Coq still seeing heavy snow this am

Quake Map- Also..really cool visuals of the US seismic netwrok picking up the signald form the big 8.0 magnitude quake last night near the Santa Crus Islands. Aftershocks still occuring.http://www.iris.edu/spud/gmv/1066749
